O Lord, You Have Searched Me
Abide with Me; Fast Falls the Eventide
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,668 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Lord who changes not, abide with me.
3 I need your presence every passing hour.
What but your grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who like yourself my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless,
though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if you abide with me.
5 Hold now your cross before my closing eyes.
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heav'n's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Refrain:
He leadeth me, he leadeth me;
by his own hand he leadeth me,
his faithful foll'wer I would be,
for by his hand he leadeth me.
2 Sometimes ;mid scenes of deepest gloom,
sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom,
by waters calm, o'er troubled sea,
still 'tis his hand that leadeth me. [Refrain]
3 Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine,
nor ever murmur nor repine;
content, whatever lot I see,
since 'tis my God that leadeth me. [Refrain]
4 And when my task on earth is done,
when by thy grace the victory's won,
e'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
since God through Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain]

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:6 First Line: God moves in a mysterious way Lyrics: 1. God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
and rides upon the storm.
2. You fearful saints, fresh courage take:
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
3. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
4. Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

O Love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 669 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1-6 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee:
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be.

O Love that wilt not let me go
I sing the almighty power of God
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 469 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:6-12 Lyrics: 1 I sing the almighty power of God,
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad,
and built the lofty skies.
2 I sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at his command,
and all the stars obey.
3 I sing the goodness of the Lord
that filled the earth with food;
he formed the creatures with his word,
and then pronounced them good.
4 There's not a plant or flower below
but makes your glories known;
and clouds arise and tempests blow,
by order from your throne.
5 All creatures, numerous as they be,
are subject to your care;
there's not a place where we can flee
but God is present there.
6 God's hand is my perpetual guard,
he guides me with his eye;
why should I, then, forget the Lord,
who is for ever nigh?
and everywhere that we can be,
you, God, are present there.

Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Author: William Whiting Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 424 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
whose arm has bound the restless wave,
who bade the mighty ocean deep
its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
2 O Savior, whose almighty word
the winds and waves submissive heard,
who walked upon the foaming deep,
and calm amid its rage did sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
upon the chaos wild and rude,
and bade its angry tumult cease
and gave for wild confusion peace:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and pow'r,
all trav'lers guard in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go;
thus evermore shall rise to thee
glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Topics: Trust and Guidance; Deliverance; God--Protection by; Travelers; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: MELITA

Traveler's Hymn
Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 321 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:2 First Line: How are thy servants blest, O Lord! Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord!
How sure is their defence!
Eternal wisdom is their guide,
Their help, omnipotence.
2 In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by thy care,
Through burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.
3 When by the dreadful tempest borne
High on the broken wave,
They know thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save.
4 The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will;
The sea, that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.
5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths,
Thy goodness we adore;
We praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.
6 Our life, whilst thou preservest life,
A sacrifice shall be;
And death, when death shall be our lot,
Shall join our souls to thee. Topics: God: The Father Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE

At Even, When the Sun Was Set
Author: Henry Twells Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 312 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:1 Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set,
the sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we,
oppressed with various ills, draw near:
what if thy form we cannot see?
We know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Savior Christ, our woes dispel:
for some are sick, and some are sad,
and some have never loved thee well,
and some have lost the love they had.
4 O Savior Christ, thou too art man;
thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
thy kind but searching glance can scan
the very wounds that shame would hide.
5 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
no word from thee can fruitless fall;
hear in this solemn evening hour,
and in thy mercy heal us all.
